Compared to the possible 5-10 years...THAT above is a cake walk.
That scenario you posted is quite nice for your argument...but what caused the accident was the alcohol....NOT the jaywalking. The blood test PROVED that. He was legally drunk according to the law, you are not fully capable to make decisions behind the wheel....that is why it is called DUI.
And where did I make comparisons to OJ....??!! This and OJ have nothing to do with each other.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth, currently under indefinite suspension by the NFL, will meet Wednesday afternoon with commissioner Roger Goodell in Manhattan, according to a source with knowledge of the meeting.
Speaking to reporters at Browns training camp on Wednesday, coach Eric Mangini called the Stallworth-Goodell meeting "a league matter, so I can't elaborate anymore."
"Once the league makes the decision they're going to make, then we'll address it then," Mangini said.
"I wanted to meet with Commissioner Goodell before making any public comment about the impact of my actions on the National Football League. I want to thank the Commissioner for giving me the opportunity to be heard yesterday," the letter read.
"I recognize that there is a difference between the legal standard in my criminal case and the standard to which NFL players are held. It is clear that I exercised poor judgment and caused irreparable harm to Mario Reyes, his family, the NFL, its owners, coaches, employees and to my fellow players. Going forward, I am committed to conducting myself in a manner that more accurately reflects who I am and meets the high standard expected of all NFL players. I tried to convey this commitment to Commissioner Goodell yesterday. I respect the Commissioner's authority and I trust his judgment. Whatever he ultimately decides is the appropriate discipline, I will accept knowing that I have profoundly affected the NFL and its relationship with the fans of our game.
"I apologize for my poor judgment. I jeopardized the honor and privilege that I have been given to be an NFL player and to play for our fans. I am truly sorry."
Publicly apologized today: Cleveland Browns receiver Donte' Stallworth apologizes, says he's caused 'irreparable harm' to family of victim and NFL - ESPN
Vick, Plaxico, and others who get in the NFL's dog house (heh) take note, that's how you apologize and show remorse right there.
Did anyone else catch ESPN's E:60 interview with Stallworth on the other night?
Vick's recent comments about blaming someone else for his actions made me think of how refreshing it was to hear Stallworth admit guilt. He made no excuses, took full responsibility and said that if he ever took a sip of booze again and got into a car, he would be "spitting on the grave of Mr. Reyes". With everything in the past aside, I found this interview refreshing and think Mr. Vick should take some notes.
Part of Vick's problem was the company he kept, Blank said, and weeding out the bad influences and associating with people who have his best interests at heart will be a key to redemption and a possible return to the NFL.
That's the Falcons owner, in May. I'd say Vick is pretty much on message. All you've got is one line out of context, or do you think he said that and left?
so even though the OWNER of the team he played for said the exact thing, as stated above by Stevo....you ain't buying it?
Nope. Vick speaks for himself. Everyone has their own opinion on Vick. But in order to get forgiveness, you must first own up to your mistakes. Vick isn't doing that, he's blaming others. That's what I did when I was 5 years old.
